"...to disarm the people - that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them." (George Mason)

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

like they came stock with the "street" version of the Monster? (can't remember if that was the name)

I've been trying to convince myself a monster would make a fine commuter bike to go with the 916, but if I can't put any proper bags on it, I'm not believing myself completely

On topic: we are buying a 1975 CB500T. It's been travelling from New York to the end of the world (here) for the last 1.5 years, ridden by a brave man. We will try and restore it/make it slightly into a cafe racer of sorts. Nothing too extreme or complex, but trying to bring back to youth a nice bike.

Have no money for 916 mods just maintenance and swapping rotten plastic/rubber parts that were way past their time.

No, not the bags from the "City" Monster. Those were soft bags on a mounting frame. These are actual aftermarket hardbags on a bolt-on frame.

I'm hoping to ride the Trans Taiga Road (~1000 miles of gravel road) late spring/early summer... So I'll be swapping my clip-ons for handlebars, fabbing up some kind of skip plate and radiator guard, possibly playing with my suspension, mounting a couple Rotopax mounts on my rear seat luggage rack, and buying some light knobbies for the trip (not to be mounted until right before I leave though).
